A Remarkable Woman fam whom Have
Descended Statesmen and Soldiers.

A Remarkable Woman fftm whom Have
Descended Statesmen and Soldiers.
One of the most picturesque figures OF
Revolutionary days has never been adj
mitted 10 the pages of history--Nancy
Hart--known throughout the South as
'the giantess" and the Heroine OF
Georgia"
She lived In the wilderness OF Ebert
county and supported herself and her
children by hunting and trapping. Nancy
was over six feet In height and with her
mon of red hair and crossed eyes she as
suredly was not prepossesslng. But one
of her contemporaries writes: "Her
voice was quiet and soft, and II she had
the courage of man she had beneath II
the warm heart of woman"
She espoused the Wing cause vehe-
mently from the first outbreak OF the
Revolution. Six British soldiers, when
pursuing deserters, came to her cabin
and demanded food. She cooked them a
good dinner, and while they were eating
Il hid their guns, drove away their horses
and, locking the doors, sent word 10 her
neinhhors. II have trapped six base
Tories; come and hold them for me-"
During the winter, In the disguise OF a
man. abe frequently entered the British
camp In Augusta, and carried TO Colonel
Clarke the Information she gained there.
on one occasion, when freshet rendered
the ford across the Susquehanna river
impossible, she made raft OF logs,
bound together by wild grape-vines, and
crossed trIumphantly under the fire OF
the enemy 10 the camp OF the Georgia
troops.
Another day, meeting a ,puny little
British soldier on the road, she took his
gun from him and marched him before
her into the Georgian camp.
So great was the confidence OF the
colonists In her discretion and yalor, that
she was once left by Colonel Clarke In
command OF fort filed with women
and children.
A company OF British skirmishers at
| tackled II. But Nancy, herself In uni
form. forced the scared women TO put on
their husbands clothes and TO show them
selves on the walls, while she kept up 50
| vigorous fire from the old cannon that
the enemy fed and reported the fort 70
be fully manned and equipped.
After the war was over Ebert county
was invaded by two or three pcaccable
souatters. Nancy fed before them. She
packed her goods on pair OF mules and
emiqrated into the wilderness Of Ken
lucky. declaring that $50 many ncighbori
left her no air 10 breathe"
Among her descendants have been
statesmen and soldiers. Much Of their
physical and mental sigor doubtless came
from the old huntress, Nancy Hart

favor with polonaises, 1t Is said, especially
for cloth gowns. The severe simplicity
of outline OF the polonaise suits shows
some figures above all other styles, and
by many their revival will be hailed with
pleasure. Tailors are making polonaises
of fine, smooth broadcloths, the skirts
laid In panels almost covered with braid
ing. A very simple yet pleasing style is
shown In the illustration, of combina-
ton OF plain and striped cloth. The
polonaise opens diagonally from the
right shoulder to the left nip, coat col

little of the striped vest and high striped
collar. The polonaise skirt Is gracefully

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

No ~invariable rule can be laid
down for the raising of calves on skim
milk, and each feeder must make a
rule for each calf.
-Lampblack mixed with strong
vinegar will mark sheep so that it will
remain a year and not injure the wool
as do tar and paint,
To removc mildew, rub common
yellow soap on the damaged article,
and then salt the starch on that. Rub
well and put out in the sunshine.
Steady application is what counts
in any business, especially in farming,
for in this employment Il day or an
hour wasted is usually more than loss
of time, for it is opportunity gone.
ANY gold jewelry that an INNER

Ben: Perlcy Poore used to say that
if farmers would thrive, they must
change their policy, They must con-
centrate their labor, they must give to
a few acres the care now usually be-
slowed on many, and if necessary to
do this they must diminish thcirfarms.

Nationality and Dress.

Mr. w. j. Florence, the actor, adj.
vanccs the following opinions regard.
ing nationality and dress: Take the
English gentleman, who combines the
taste of the army and the club; he is as
finely dressed as any mar whom you
can find, though he has IN air of stiff
ness that you will not notein the Ameri-
can. The Frcnchman is liable to run into
extravaganza especially in the matter of
head gear and the size and color of his
nccktic, but he is always nicely gloved
and booted. In diplomatic or court cos
tune, the wearing of orders, etc, the
Frenchmen excel, | think. After all
the well-dressed American gentleman
stands in the front rank in the matter
of attire. His clothes seem to fit him
